Beautiful mid-density colour, with bright purple hues. Lifted dark berry fruits with some char from the French oak build on the nose. At almost 14% alcohol, the wine retains its medium-bodied weight, with ripe berry fruit and fine, long tannins carrying through to the finish. A classic medium weight Hunter Valley Shiraz that is a lovely drink as a young wine, and like all our Hunter Valley Shiraz, will age beautifully.

Toni Paterson MW - Halliday Wine Companion
An impressive, long-living wine from a heritage vineyard planted in 1920. Mellow, inky, dark and mysterious, this is an utterly compelling and unique wine with a deep chasm of intensity and a serious, contemplative core. The explosion of flavour on the back of the palate is outstanding. The structural elements are impeccably balanced, with acidity playing a notable role. Although the wine is aged in 100% French oak, none of it is new, ensuring its influence is nuanced, gentle, savoury and refined.

James Suckling
A crunchy syrah with lightly chewy tannins and lots of blackberry, blueberry, mushroom and ink aromas. Touches of bark and meatiness. Medium-bodied with a lovely texture and balance. A thoughtful red. From 103-year-old vines.
